Reviews

`a fascinating and meticulous text ... This is a superb piece of work ... The three authors, all distinguished researchers in the sociology of the family and family policy, have used their combined expertise to produce a book which is likely to be a classic ... This book should be required reading for all social workers in training, for their educators and their practice managers and, dare I say it, for the politicians, social commentators and media persons who pronounce with such certainty on the fecklessness of women without men when, in reality, their characterstics as a social group are as varied as the circumstances in which they live.' Siobhan Lloyd, Lecturer in Sociology, University of Aberdeen, British Journal of Social Work, vol 29, 1999
